>Nice list!

Thanks!

>I'd like to throw in a suggestion for the DOI here:

No problem-o. The following three identifiers have been added:

  "UPC Type A"
    "The basic UPC code, referred to as Type A, is composed of twelve
    digits. These twelve digits are broken up into four groups: Number
    System Character, Manufacturer's Code, Product Code, and Check Digit."

  "UPC Type E"
    "All Type-E UPC codes are eight digits long, the first being
    the Number System Character and the last being the check digit.
    The number system character is ALWAYS ZERO. The check digit is
    calculated from the digits in the Type-A UPC."

  "DOI"
    "DOIs are names \(characters and/or digits\) assigned to objects of
    intellectual property \(physical, digital or abstract\) such as
    electronic journal articles, images, learning objects, ebooks,
    images, any kind of content. They are used to provide current
    information, including where they \(or information about them\)
    can be found on the Internet. Information about a digital object
    may change over time, including where to find it, but its
    DOI will not change."
